Brielle city office redevelopment

The former Brielle city office at Slagveld 36 is no longer fully used as an office. The Municipality of Voorne aan Zee would like the Town Office to be given a new purpose. The intention is to convert the office building into an apartment building.

The plan includes the rezoning of the former Brielle City Office into a residential building with a maximum of 31 apartments. This takes into account the local parking standards, and the space available for parking spaces. The choice was made to create housing for seniors and starters with housing in the category of both social rental and middle rental.

The homes will soon be rented and managed by the Woonbedrijf of the Municipality of Voorne aan Zee. The homes will be offered in due course through Woonnet Rijnmond. It is therefore very important that interested parties are registered with Woonnet Rijnmond.

At this moment it is not yet possible to register for these houses.

What is the plan?

We are currently in the preliminary design phase. The current sketch design will be further developed into a Preliminary and Final Design. We expect to start implementation around the middle of 2026. This will happen after the adoption of the TAM Environmental Plan Battlefield 36, and as soon as the environmental permit is granted. The draft TAM Environmental Plan has been completed and is currently available for public inspection. 

With the TAM Environmental Plan Slagveld 36, the municipality wants to amend the environmental plan for the address Slagveld 36 in Brielle. Which means that the zoning of the city office will go from 'Social' to 'Residential'. There will be a maximum of 31 housing units in the social and middle rental segment. For a period of six weeks (Thursday, November 13 to Wednesday, December 24, 2025), the draft TAM Environmental Plan will be available for inspection. The documents can be found on the website official announcements.

During these six weeks, you can submit an official comment on the draft. This can be done in writing or orally. Written comments can be sent to the City Council of Voorne aan Zee:

Postbus 13, 3220 AA, Hellevoetsluis. With the mention: "view draft TAM-Omgevingsplan Slagveld 36". For oral reactions, please make a Make an appointment appointment with the Spatial Development team via tel. 14 0181. Reactions by e-mail cannot be processed by the municipality.

How have local residents been involved?

We would like to engage with local residents at the resident meeting on Wednesday, November 19, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. During the walk-in meeting, images will be shown of the current sketch design, and of the proposed zoning change plan. The architect and the project team of the Municipality of Voorne aan Zee will be present to talk with you, and answer any questions you may have.

When will the homes be there?

The area now has no residential zoning. If we want to make "living" possible there, we must first regulate this with a procedure for an "out-of-plan environmental plan activity. In that procedure there are also possibilities to give a formal reaction (view) to the plan. We start this procedure when we have completed the investigations (including participation with stakeholders).

After completing the spatial procedure, we can start the realization. It is still difficult to make a good planning for this. For example, we do not yet know what reactions will come in the participation round and whether formal objections will be filed in the procedure. Then the procedure will start and it will take at least three months but probably longer. Finally, construction has to take place and the site has to be laid out (landscaping, parking spaces and the like). All together, this will take at least a year.

  • Elaborate design and cost estimate: end 2025
  • Budget decision: early 2026
  • Adopt environmental plan: by summer 2026
  • Construction start: expected in mid-2026. 

With this approach, we ensure a good and feasible plan that meets housing needs and is future-proof.

What will the plan look like?

We commissioned an initial urban design to see what is possible on this site. This resulted in a design with 31 homes. This takes into account the local parking standards and the space available for parking spaces. This is still an initial design, which will form the basis for further work toward a final design.
